Half day · Glass-blowing demo · ★4.5 from 8,729 reviews
Palazzo Grimani is closed on Mondays, which makes Monday a natural day for the lagoon islands.
This guided half-day trip takes you to Murano for a glass-blowing demonstration, then to Burano with its brightly painted houses and lace-making tradition.
It is one of the best-reviewed island trips in Venice, and affordable, which leaves the budget for the palaces.
Boats can be busy in summer. Bring sun protection, and don't feel obliged to buy at the glass showroom.

You have a free half-day, especially a Monday, and want to see the lagoon.
You're short on time: one day in Venice is better spent on the palaces and San Marco.
